FBI Looking for Five Illegal Immigrants


The Associated Press
Sunday, December 29, 2002; 4:23 PM

WASHINGTON –– The FBI said Sunday it is looking for five men of Arab ancestry who may have entered the country illegally last week.

The agency said the five men are believed to have arrived in the United States on or before Christmas Eve.

The five men are: Abid Noraiz Ali, Iftikhar Khozmai Ali, Mustafa Khan Owasi, Adil Pervez and Akbar Jamal, all born between 1969 and 1983. The FBI warned that the names and birth dates may be false.

The FBI said it had no indication the men were linked to terrorist activities, but still wanted to question the five "based upon information developed in the course of ongoing investigations."

The FBI said it was working with the Customs, Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Transportation Security Agency to find the men.

Good work Eva, so it looks like our Al Qaeda ghouls are using the same method as the failed 2000 New Years plan.

The only way to secure the nation is to secure the borders and make citizens of "terrorist" nations unwelcome.

Yes, and to make the borders truly secure we will need to significantly slow the flow of trade across the boarder, especially with Canada. This will hurt but can not be helped.

Pakistani names it seems. If they held Pakistani passports, they were required to be fingerprinted by the INS.

Are any of these guys believed to be of Saudi nationality?

I'm sure they are just coming in to practice some "religion of peace."

Things we need to ascertain:

1. Country of nationality...Pakistan, Iran, Algeria, Morocco...where? This is important because they will no doubt look for a safe house with others of the same nationality.

2. Where did they cross? Border checkpont, or unmonitored area? If a border checkpoiint, why weren't they stopped?

3. At what part of the country did they cross? Seattle? New York? Minnesota?

4. Did they cross in one vehicle, or did they cross individually? If in one vehicle, what make, model, color, and license plate number?

I suggest everyone listen to newes channels, check web sites and local broadcasts, and report anything new here.

If you are trying to help, I apologize.

If you are just trashing the people trying to find these Islamakazis, grow up! While you were trashing, people dug into the story and found a lot of data and posted it for the rest of us.

This past year, Freepers via Free Republic have ferreted out and helped to catch a cop murderer, closed down an al Fuqra training camp and other good actions by people working together and getting the info out. We can be of help here to if we have the data, the pictures and help to get the word out.

"IMO, Looks like Al Qaeda is picking ghouls that could pass for Hispanic and giving them fake names."

Makes perfect sense.

The Germans, British, Americans, etc., all did it during WWII.

Are we at war here?

Am I driving this car??

Khalid Ibn Muhammad al-Juhani and Abd al-Rahim

Five men shown on videotapes found in the house of an al-Qaeda leader in Afghanistan were preparing to carry out terrorist acts, US officials say.
US Attorney General John Ashcroft said the videos showed "young men delivering what appear to be martyrdom messages from suicide terrorists."

Excerpts from the tapes show three of the men separately, two of them apparently making statements and one holding an automatic rifle.

Mr Ashcroft said little was know about the five suspects except for Ramzi Binalshibh, from Yemen.

The US authorities allege that he was a close associate of Mohammed Atta, the man believed to have been the ring-leader of the 19 hijackers who carried out the suicide attacks on 11 September.

FBI Director Robert Mueller said the tapes came from a "trove of valuable information" discovered in Afghanistan.

He said they were still being analysed to determine when they were made, adding that there was no evidence any of the suspects had entered the United States, although at least one had tried.

Owasi is a Sunni name. Maybe Sadaam is involved.

I don't get this. If the way they entered cause suspicion, WHY WEREN'T THEY STOPPED!

Excellent Question. Seems that the old policy of letting anyone into this country and asking questions later is still in effect. Doesn't inspire much confidence in the integrity of our border checkpoints does it? Makes one wonder how many more nefarious types are finding easy passage into the U.S. everyday despite the horrors of 9/11.
